Gunarantam case was a pure Human Right Violation.

Seems like this Thrassian knows Gunarathnam better than Deborak......

How do you know Gunarathnam kidnap by government....????

Does Polls chief has right to check/investigate any politician who has Bank accounts, shares, ownership or partnership or any other investments in foreign companies and in foreign soils? Specially in Singapore.

. Only idiot like you and fools like you do not know , all others know.

Professor Wijesingha states 'The government has after all argued that the Australian High Commission was remiss in failing to provide information about Mr Gunaratnam's arrival in this country, whereas its reactions to his abduction made it clear that they knew all about him. It is claimed that the High Commission had not responded to an inquiry, but surely the correct thing to do when information is required, and there is reason to believe that any delay is detrimental to the national interest, is to call in the Australian High Commissioner and explain the situation and request active cooperation.

Unfortunately such calling in does not occur. Our Ministry of External Affairs had proved singularly incompetent in dealing with the international community, whether diplomats of Non-Governmental Organizations, despite the powers it has. I can think of several instances in which it should have called diplomats or others in and, very politely, indicated the serious implications of what was happening.

Professor Wijesingha states the Gunaratnam phenomenon should have been dealt with transparently, through open discussions with the Australians to ensure that they fulfilled their obligations to a friendly nation by revealing what they knew about the gentleman s entry into this country, and any change of name that might have occurred while he was in Australia. Such discussions would need to be recorded and a letter sent confirming what had transpired, so that our position, and our belief that Australia too had our best interests at heart, would be established. In such a situation, any intervention by the Australian High Commission indicating knowledge that had not been shared with us would obviously have been inappropriate.

. unless they complied with the polls chief s directive. He stressed that the Elections Secretariat could depend on the Bribery Commission to inquire into those turning a blind eye to his missive.
